The 20 points drop in cinebench score is not usual unless the iGPU is totally disabled which can explain the performance drop.

Your EFI folder seems ok, download the MacX Video Converter Pro and see if the hardware encoding support is enabled, if it is enabled it means that Intel Graphics is detected by macOS and there's no need to add the extra setting in config, if not you can use the same config. You might need to do a system cache rebuild to make macOS rebuild the kext caches after you make the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it in istats, but not in system, I see a great slowdown in games and the GPU processor is always at 100%.....

Cyberdevs Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 If you see a decrease in performance revert back to your previous settings and re run the tests and compare the results. WEG can affect the GPUs performance on some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hi I read first post and all others on this topic. No others solutions than change SMBIOS profile. Only Imac13,1 or Imac13,2 works with PCI-E Primary. For my mobo Asus P8z77-v pro, Nvidia GT640 cards: iGPU is activated by default: set to primary, Inject-Intel and ig-platform in config.plist-----> no result for jpg in Preview and Quicklook.

Hi Matgen84, iGPU should be activated but it shouldn't be set as Primary, your GT640 should be set as primary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonAce Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It's better to set it to primaryEven if your monitor connected to Nvidia gpuIn UEFI, you will still see boot and can enter bios menu.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cyberdevs My Asus motherboard have 3 possibilities: auto, PCI-E primary, iGPU Primary. All of them don't work for Preview and Quicklook (without change SMBIOS Profile). I search again. EDIT: despite what is written in the Asus notice, I can't find iGPU multi-monitor (I think multi monitor is enabled by a default for this mobo). There is only "intitalization of the dedicated gpu" for LucidLogix® Virtu. If enabled, macOS restart just before Login Screen.

No, this will only work if the mainboard's UEFI supports GOP and the GPU also supports UEFI, otherwise you'll loose the boot screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flashed my GT640 to UEFI Bios since 3 years. Also, I can select IGPU primary and use Nvidia PCI-e. This way, I've HD4000 detected by macOS, Monitor Airplay option too. My mobo use multi-monitor by default. For Preview.app and Quicklook, I think jpg issue is a bug, maybe. I try Preview.app alternative, Xee.app v3.5.3, it's works fine.

onemanOSX Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I just would like to share my experience with my new MSI B360 board here. What I did: 1. enable integrated graphics in bios 2. PEG set as primary 3. Using Whatevergreen patching+ lilu In About This Mac, no trace of iGPU is shown except for the RX 580. However, in ioreg clearly IMEI is loaded and using MacX Video Converter Pro, prove that hardware encoding is enabled. So yeah, I initially thought About This Mac is an indicative but I got fooled However, if you'd like to see the cosmetics display in About This Mac, injecting intel in clover with ig-platform-id is the way to go. Cheers to the OP for the guide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matgen84 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi I found: a new Lilu plugin kext. "NoVPAJpeg Lilu plugin: Disables the hardware JPEG decoding feature of the AppleVPA framework that breaks Preview and Quicklook on some systems" Click here If the IGPU cannot be configured, this Lilu plugin should fix preview with any SMBIOS, says the author of this plugin. Test only on my Asus p8z77-v Pro, Core i7 3770K, Nvidia GT640. I don't have any other motherboards and CPU for more tests.
